Today: I maintained the integrity of my maintenance calorie budget. I remained abstinent from refined sugar. I exceeded my daily water goal. I stayed well connected with great support and I had a fantastic stair climbing workout tonight!
"Are you okay?"-My downstairs neighbor after the first ten minutes of tonight's stair climbing. She regularly walks her dog around the neighborhood. This is the first time she's noticed me doing the stair workout. She's in her early 80's and is likely the sweetest neighbor in the history of neighbors. "I'm exercising! Feeling great! Hope I didn't disturb you." She assured me I didn't. I love this neighborhood. It's peaceful. I'm grateful.

Thank you for reading and your continued support,
Strength,
Sean
New reader...curious...is there a reason some of your food measurements are English and others metric? TBH I find it hard to follow without looking up all the metric and converting to ounces. Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteBetty, thank you! It depends on the best listing I find in MyFitnessPal. I prefer measuring in grams when I can. Of course, my food plan isn't meant as a guide of any kind, it's only meant as an accountability tool for me. But-you can certainly get some ideas from the different items shown! Glad you're here, Betty!
DeleteThanks - I wasn't using it as a guide, per se. I am in my 12th year of weight maintenance following a 90-lb loss and very happy with the way I eat (clean/whole foods) and exercise (daily!) -- really was just wondering why the different methods for measuring (I measure a lot, still, too -- but don't track calories diligently; I just know my foods well at this point and I am able to stay within my range in my head). I am not a huge blog reader or internet user but wish I'd found you before! Plan to go back and read some archives. Thanks again, Sean.
